Can anyone recommend me some Persian lit/poetry? I've read the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam and the penguin collection of Hafez and some other poets from Shiraz.
Here with a loaf of bread beneath the bough,
A flask of wine, a book of verse- and thou,
Beside me singing in the wilderness,
And wilderness is paradise enow!

Pro: Read while you're not reading
Con: Not really reading when you do read

Audiobooks make me angry and I'm really comfy right now, so I'm not going to touch this one.

or when do you look up a word?

Not in English but that's because I'm American.
If I'm reading French I can't get very far without looking up words, but in that case I look things up online.
>>
>>7799750
I use my phone for the dictionary. It's great because it's so much faster to look up words on my phone, plus if needed I can look at images to get a better idea of the word. The downside is I can sometimes get distracted and end up on 4chan for a few minutes before going back to my reading.

For my senior project I said I would do philosophy essays because I thought it could look impressive and be pretty easy
I have absolutely no idea what to write about
Philosophy rec thread? I need to at least read a couple books to look like I did something.

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to discuss a topic regarding technology, but since most of /lit/ seem- to prefer physical books to eReaders I wonder if there are other forms of technology you reject, or refuse to make use of. I think the literary lifestyle is essentially unplugged, though technology can make things like writing, and using a dictionary or translator much easier. Is there any benefit to keeping yourself unplugged?

Any other writers as wide-ranging as this man? Marx, religion, ADD in art appreciation, weed, children's books. Easily the best thing associated with the Frankfurt school.
